It seems well but why my pc doesn't turn off ? my HDD is still running. What should I do? |

yeah its slightly tricky at first
but as root you can type in the command shutdown -a -h -t 0 now |
Hi hus!
Welcome to the LinuxQuestions.org forum. I believe, judging by your descriptions, that you are running Slackware (also because it's your first distro at your list...ghehe). Remember to tell us which distro you are trying to do an specific stuff, because it can be distro related. Well, if it's slackware, it's because a module is not loaded by default, which is the one responsible to totally shutdown the computer. Do this: su - modprobe apm shutdown -h now If it works, you could: 1 - Always load that module before shutting down, or 2 - Add that line (modprobe apm) to your /etc/rc.d modules (the path may be wrong, I'm on another distro right now, but should be somewhere around there. If you don't find, let me know and I boot into Slack). A suggestion, a little unconnected though. At this forum, if you click at the button cp up there at the homepage, you can edit your "Distribution" field, placing one space after each comma. That would make your threads look nicer. Eg: 1 - You are using: Slackware,Vector,Redhat,Mandrake,Debian 2 - It's better to: Slackware, Vector, Redhat, Mandrake, Debian Good luck and Happy New Year! |
Thank you for your suggestion Megaman X
I'll try this and Goodluck and Happy new year! |
:) My pleasure. Give race's idea a shot too. I have not seen that command before, but might be what you seek :) And thanks for placing the space at the distribution thing mate! :)

I had the same problem with Slackware -
add apm=power-off to your append line in the Slackware stanza in lilo.conf - ie for example append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet apm=power-off" then type /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect Then use halt as Root user to shut the system down........or if your using KDM you can use the GUI option |
